Fantastic. Captain Phillips is safe, 3 of the four pirates are dead and noboy paid a contribution to the Somali "government." It couldn't have worked much better. Nice job, Navy!

Outstanding!!
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.
At least when Phillips managed to jump overboard the second time, the Navy had their guns locked and loaded. Go Navy!
Millions for defense, not a dime for tribute!
Well as the father of an ex Navy Seal all I can say is they are the best this country has.

Very happy for Captain Phillips, his family, and the Navy for freeing him.
